I lat^e, and pine away
With Grief and Sorrow j
I t^-ll quite to Decay,
Like any Shadow 5
1 fhallbcdead, I fear,
"Within a thoufand Year,
And all becaufe my dear
ThiUada flouts me»
Fair Maiden, have a Care,
And in Time take nie ;
I can have thofe as fair,
If youforfake me.
There's Doll, the Dairy*.maid,
Smil'd on Die lately.
And wanton iVmnifred
Favours me greatly ;
One throws Milk on my Cloaths,
T' other plays with my Nofe j
What pretty Toys are thofe !
Pbillada flouts mc
She has a Cloth of mine,
Wrought with blue Covsntry,
Which file keeps as a Sign
Of my Fidelity :
Bat if llie frowns on me.
She {hall ne'er wear it.
I'll give It my Maid Joattt
And file flull tear it.
Since 'twill no better be,
I'll beat it patiently 5
Vet, all the World may fee
ThiUadjt flouts me
SONG CCCLXIX. Tbe Anfwer.
OH ! where's the Plague in Love,
That you can't hear it If
If Men wou'd conftant prove,
They need not fear it.
